I have to make listbox with textbox in it... and it has to be dynamic. I have observable collection in code behind and I want to bind that for listbox. I want dynamic listbox and this list should have editable textbox in it. So, basically I want to bind multiplr textbox from listbox. Any help would be appreciated
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="ListTwo" Height="100" Margin="286.769,165.499,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=obs}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Name="TextBoxList"></TextBox>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
By doing this, I have number of textbox same as items in observable collection but textbox's text is not set up.
If the items in your ObservableCollection are just plain strings, then you can data bind to the whole string value like this:
<ListBox Name="ListTwo" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=obs}" ... >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Name="TextBoxList" Text="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
From the Binding.Path Property page on MSDN:
Optionally, a period (.) path can be used to bind to the current source. For example, Text="{Binding}" is equivalent to Text="{Binding Path=.}".
Note that if you had some objects with properties in the collection, then #nit's answer would have been correct as you would need to reference the relevant property name:
<ListBox Name="ListTwo" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=obs}" ... >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Name="TextBoxList" Text="{Binding PropertyName}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
You will have to Bind your textbox to the property in your class of which observable collection you have bound
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="ListTwo" Height="100" Margin="286.769,165.499,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=obs}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Binding="{Binding PROPERTYINCLASS}"></TextBox>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

I´m using devexpress and I want to do a binding with a Listbox, but I have an error. Here my code:
<ListBox x:Name="_list" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<dxd:LayoutPanel
Caption="{Binding nameList}"
AllowHide ="False" AllowFloat="False"
GotFocus="panel_GotFocus" >
<TextBox Text="Hello" />
</dxd:LayoutPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
With this code, Caption {Binding nameList} is empty.
I have tried this.
<ListBox x:Name="_list" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<TextBox Text="{Binding nameList}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
In this case, text in TextBox is correct, I need to use the first code.
You seem to be a bit confused about how to use this ListBox. First, you need a collection property to bind to the ListBox.ItemsSource property. Let's say you have a collection of User objects called Users:
<ListBox ItemSource="{Binding Users}" />
Now we want to define how each User should be displayed... all the properties of the User class will be available to the Binding inside the DataTemplate. Let's say that the User class has two properties; Name and Age:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type YourDataTypeNamespace:User}">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBox Text="{Binding Age}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Then putting it all together:
<ListBox ItemSource="{Binding Users}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type YourDataTypeNamespace:User}">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBox Text="{Binding Age}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
How can I pass the DataContext of LayoutRoot to the converter of the ContentControl inside the ListBox items template?
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"
Background="White"
DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource myViewModel}}">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="6,6,0,394"
Orientation="Vertical"
Width="200"
d:LayoutOverrides="Height">
<ListBox x:Name="listBox2"
ItemsSource="{Binding MyCollection, Mode=TwoWay}"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Height="400">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentControl Content="{Binding}"
ContentTemplate="{Binding Converter={StaticResource myConverter}}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Value1, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
I want to be able to touch the objects inside the DataContext from within the Converter and use them for TwoWay binding on controls within the ListBox item's DataTemplate.
Any ideas? Any suggestions?
Thank you.
I just got the DataContext up to the converter using:
<ContentControl Content="{Binding}"
ContentTemplate="{Binding Converter={StaticResource stringToDataTemplateConverter}, ConverterParameter={StaticResource myViewModel}}" />
Now I have another problem my dynamic property binding is not working.
(sorry for my bad english)
I'm not sure about what you are trying to do here but with SL 5 you can use RelativeSource to get the DataContext:
{Binding DataContext,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorLevel=1,AncestorType=Grid}}
I would like to display a list of usercontrols binded to a listbox
next to each usercontrol there should be a button
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding usercontrollist}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<!--usercontrol of the current binded items-->
<Button Content="x" HorizontalAlignment="Right"></Button>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
How can i do this in xaml code
Assuming usercontrollist is a collection of UserControl, then you should be able to do this:
<ContentControl Content="{Binding}" />
I have two separate binding problems with listboxes with an itemtemplate which contains a texbox.
1) One listbox binds to a list of strings. How can I display each string inside the textboxes created and allow two way binding at the same time? Two way binding isn't allowed without specifying a Path or XPath.
<ListBox Height="231" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,167,0,0" Name="listBoxKeys" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="219" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.Keys}" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedKey,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<TextBox Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay}" Margin="0,0,0,0" Height="Auto" MinWidth="80" MaxWidth="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
And 2) I use another listbox which binds to some generic list of a custom KeyValuePair class. The itemtemplate contains a textbox and combobox. The textbox text is bound to the key property of each KeyValuePair object and the combobox selecteditem to the value property. My problem is that I want the combo to get filled by a list of strings declared in my viewmodel which will be changing on runtime. The window's datacontext is the viewmodel where the list is declared. I don't know the exact syntax I need to use to bind the combobox itemssource there. Here's my code :
<ListBox Height="393" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,72,0,0" Name="listBoxActions" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="254" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SelectedPlayer.ControlProfile.MappedActions}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<TextBox Text="{Binding Key, Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=LostFocus}" Margin="10,0,0,0" Height="Auto" MinWidth="80" MaxWidth="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<ComboBox Margin="10,0,0,0" Height="Auto" MinWidth="80" MaxWidth="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" ItemsSource="{Binding ?}" SelectedItem="{Binding Value, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
The problem is that the two-way binding on the source itself cannot work because it would mean that the whole object (string), for which the data template is created, must be replaced when user changes the text in the text box. Obviously, this will not work. Two-way binding will work only on a writable property of the bound object.
In your case I would suggest creating a view model for the items in the list box (basically a view model for your strings) and expose a Value property on it and bind to it in the data template:
<ListBox Height="231" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,167,0,0"
Name="listBoxKeys" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="219"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.KeyViewModels}"
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedKey,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<TextBox Text="{Binding Value, Mode=TwoWay}" Margin="0,0,0,0" Height="Auto" MinWidth="80" MaxWidth="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
1) Pavlo Glazkov seems to have a good answer to me
2) This is down to the DataContext for the ComboBox now being the key value pair rather than the ViewModel. There may be other ways to do this but the one that I've used before is to set the bindings RelativeSource source back to it's parent ItemsControl.
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}
Something like:
<ListBox Height="393" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,72,0,0" Name="listBoxActions" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="254" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SelectedPlayer.ControlProfile.MappedActions}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<TextBox Text="{Binding Key, Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=LostFocus}" Margin="10,0,0,0" Height="Auto" MinWidth="80" MaxWidth="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<ComboBox Margin="10,0,0,0" Height="Auto" MinWidth="80" MaxWidth="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" ItemsSource="{Binding DataContext.Keys, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}" SelectedItem="{Binding Value, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
I have the following ItemsControl in Silverlight 3.
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ValueCollectionList}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button x:Name="MyBtn" Height="40" Content="{Binding Name}"
Tag="{Binding Value}"
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.Command="{Binding ElementName=LayoutRoot, Path=ButtonCommand}"
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=MyBtn, Path=Tag}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
The Problem is that I have the ItemsControl bound to the Collection in my ViewModel, but I need the button to trigger a command on the ViewModel which is of course not Available in the DataContext of the button since it only contains the collection.
I can make the command fire by setting my ViewModel as a Resource and then binding to it as a StaticResource, but I want to know why the element to element binding won't work in this scenario. I would prefer not to use the StaticResource binding because that requires the default constructor on the ViewModel and so I can't inject my data easily.
UPDATE
I'm working through this slowly... Looking at the suggestions from Peter I realized that I may have more serious binding issues because of my page setup. I have two possible road blocks, but first things first.
My Items control above is wrapped in another items control that is bound to an observable collection. I moved my items control so that its a direct child of the root items control. It was wrapped in another control that I'll get to. So I tried the element binding to the items control ControlItemList, but its a collection so it can't find my ButtonCommand method in that Collection. What I need to do is bind to an item within that collection. How do I bind to a single item within the collection?
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"><!-- DataContext="{Binding Path=., Source={StaticResource lvvm}}">-->
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<ItemsControl x:Name="ControlItemList" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="100" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock x:Name="ControlName" Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Name}" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ValueCollectionList}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
So, Assuming I can get the above to work the other road block is that my items control is wrapped in another usercontrol that I'm using to get DataTemplateSelector type functionality. I think this control may be blocking me from getting to the parent DataContext. Is there a limit as to how far up the tree you can go?
<common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector Grid.Column="1" FieldType="{Binding ValueType}" Margin="0,2,0,2">
<common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.StringTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Value, Mode=TwoWay}" Width="100"/>
</DataTemplate>
</common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.StringTemplate>
<common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.DateTimeTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="this is date time binding" Width="100"/>
</DataTemplate>
</common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.DateTimeTemplate>
<common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.BooleanTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Value, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</DataTemplate>
</common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.BooleanTemplate>
<common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.IntegerTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding ValueCollection}" DisplayMemberPath="Value" SelectedIndex="{Binding Value, Mode=TwoWay}" >
</ComboBox>
</DataTemplate>
</common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.IntegerTemplate>
<common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.MultiButtonTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ValueCollectionList}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button x:Name="MyBtn"
Height="40" Content="{Binding Name}"
Tag="{Binding Value}"
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.Command="{Binding ElementName=ControlItemList, Path=DataContext.ButtonCommand}"
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.CommandParameter="{Binding Value}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</DataTemplate>
</common:DeviceControlTemplateSelector.MultiButtonTemplate>
<Button x:Name="MyBtn"
Height="40" Content="{Binding Name}"
Tag="{Binding Value}"
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.Command="{Binding ElementName=ControlItemList, Path=ButtonCommand}"
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.CommandParameter="{Binding Value}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
Thanks again everyone for your help!
the best solution i have found so far to deal with this situation is by Dan Wahl where he uses a DataContextProxy.
http://weblogs.asp.net/dwahlin/archive/2009/08/20/creating-a-silverlight-datacontext-proxy-to-simplify-data-binding-in-nested-controls.aspx
Try to change
from
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.Command="{Binding ElementName=LayoutRoot, Path=ButtonCommand}"
to
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.Command="{Binding ElementName=LayoutRoot, Path=DataContext.ButtonCommand}"
OR
cmd:ButtonBaseExtensions.Command="{Binding ElementName=LayoutRoot.DataContext, Path=ButtonCommand}"
In MVVM messaging is a strong concept for cummunication between ViewModels. You could use PRISM Eventaggregator or the Messenger class of MVVM Light Toolkit. On the button command you can publish a message and subscribe to it in the viewmodel.
